Catchable fatal error on all posts

    Hi Jamie, thanks for the great plugin, super useful!

    While working on my site tonight I suddenly started getting this error, it’s site-wide on every post, with just this and a blank page appearing where the posts should be:

    Catchable fatal error: Object of class WP_Error could not be converted to string in /home/whatgame/public_html/wp-content/plugins/php-code-for-posts/Classes/Shortcode.php(35) : eval()’d code on line 2

    The only thing I was doing at the same time was playing around with search plugins; I deactivated Search Autocomplete and tried out Swiftype Search, before deleting it and going back to Search Autocomplete, which is when I noticed the error.

    Any help would be appreciated!

    Hi UnevenPixels,

    Usually when the error is pointed to eval()’d code it means that the error is in the snippet php code itself.

    Double check your snippet and parameters and see if you are doing anything with WP_Error.

    Cheers

    Thanks for the fast reply.

    It’s strange as they were working fine for a solid day or two and I hadn’t changed anything to the snippet code when it stopped working.

    To double-check I just deleted the plugin along with all snippets, reinstalled and created a single snippet with the original code I used a couple days back, should this code be causing any issues?

    <?php
echo get_the_term_list( $post->ID, 'release-dates', '<ul class="styles"><li>', ',</li><li>', '</li></ul>' );
?>

    I’m a total beginner when it comes to PHP, but it seems strange the code would cause such a delayed reaction if it’s to blame?

    Hi Unevenpixels,

    I checked your code,

    It looks like get_the_term_list is returning a WP_Error rather than a string.

    The error message for me is “Invalid taxonomy”

    I would change your code to something along the lines of:

    <?php
$list = get_the_term_list( $post->ID, 'release-dates', '<ul class="styles"><li>', ',</li><li>', '</li></ul>' );
if (is_wp_error($list)) {
	 echo $list->get_error_message();
} else {
	echo $list;
}
?>

    cheers
